NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine is a remarkable example of a Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the renowned winemaker Jean-Luc Colombo.On the nose, this wine offers a complex bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by hints of spices like black pepper and cloves. There are also subtle notes of garrigue, which is a characteristic herbal aroma often found in wines from the Southern Rhône region.
The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. The flavors mirror the aromas, with the addition of dark chocolate and a touch of licorice. The wine displays excellent balance and structure, with a long and satisfying finish.
It pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes such as roasted lamb or game meats.

ORIGINS
Winery: Jean-Luc Colombo
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
